70-200 5.6? I don't think so. That's an L lens, and the only 70-200 L that big is 2.8.

It's not a 5.6, but I wouldn't be suprised if it's a f/4. (it has an extender on it) The 2.8 and the 4 are virtually identical in size. I can't tell from a distance unless they're side by side Either way the guy is clown eta: it could be a 100-400. hard to tell w/ the sun shade where it is |

Hey wait! I have that semi-gay backpack! It's a Tamrac. I wanted it small so I could carry it on airplanes easily along with my regular clothing and stuff backpack. I am semi-gay and I didn't even know it!
|
|
I have a Tamrac large backpack....
I'm definitely hetero, but apparently I'm semi-gay now too...... ...like TheRedGoat......... |
|
no the large ones are ok |
|
|
I carry a Tamrac Expedition 7...guess I am hetero as all hell.

|
Hey now I know how my g/f feels when sp10 and I argue about AR15 stuff in front of her! |

|
Whats the dollar value of renting the monopod, attaching it to the lens, but not extending it far enough so that it actually reaches the ground and gives support?
|
|
Yeah, I only have the expedition 4, I should have gone larger... |
|
|
I HAD to go larger to fit my 400mm prime. |
||
|
Sorry, I just use the stuff....I don't gear whore about it. |
|||
|
Is it gear whoring or just not being oblivious when you actually use the stuff? |
||||
|
Yeah, I can't see an arfcommer being asked if he used an Aimpoint or an EOTech and answering "Sorry, I just use the stuff...I don't gear whore about it." |

That's the diff between a job and a hobby I guess. |
||||||
|
So photography is just a job to you? |
|
|
I'd say more like the difference between a job and a profession. I don't know any real pro photographers that would be that oblivious (especially if they've ever had to hump the f2.8 vs the f4 all day). Of course there are those lame Sears portrait "photogs" and party pic weenies that wouldn't know the difference between an SLR and a P&S, don't be THAT guy. |

|
no, but the cameras are just tools |
||
|
There's nothing "just" about a tool. |
|||
|
Do you two need to get a room? |

|
Why would I give a F what the 4.0 looks like? I've never even handled or shot one. You don't think the 4.0 is similar to a 2.8 at a distance? |
||||||||
|
What you "give an F" about is entirely up to you. But if you are going to go around calling someone "a clown", you ought to have your ducks in a row, just MHO. Especially if you're constantly on this board bragging about being a "pro" but constantly making flawed statements. Yeah, the f4 and f2.8 look similar, in the same way an M4 and an M16A2 look somewhat similar. If I overheard some "professional" soldier saying that an M4 and M16A2 were "virtually identical in size", I'd roll my eyes just the same. If he said he couldn't tell the difference because they're "just tools" and he just "used the stuff. not gear whore about it", well that's reason for a happy slap. |

Ok Duke.
If you can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the camera in that pic is 2.8 you're the man, which is obviously your goal here. I still believe it's a 4.0 with an extender, but it really doesn't matter to me. You're clearly the only one on this board that's "pro enough" to know anything. At any rate, I didn't create that thing, I just posted it. Have a great weekend. |

That's great psychology there Gator, my goal is indeed to be "the man", it has nothing to do with calling bullshit on a poser. I'm the one going around bragging about how much $ I make, I'm the one going around calling others "clowns" because they don't have fancy gear, I'm the one going around making up "facts" to make myself appear smarter than I really am. I think somewhere in Psych 101, you conveniently forgot about the course on projection. |
|
|
What exactly are you calling bullshit on? |
||
|
There are so many cock fights on here. Can we just dispense with the "mine is bigger than yours" arguement and get along? You have both made your points. |
